The Thousand Year Dynasty
26. Pier II City
The next day Caspian, who did not seem to return to the inn overnight, suddenly appeared at the door of Nata and Aksa's room to escort them to meet Luna again. Lucia and Jean were visiting Pietro's bar on the other side of the city.
-
"Did you steal this scroll from the star temple?" The first question that Luna let out when she saw Nata and Aksa for the second time.
"Have you confirmed to the astrologers?" Ask Nata calmly. While it looks Aksa scattering to one of the tables where there are some people playing cards.
"It is, and indeed this map is true. How did you find out information that only the temple's astrologer priests knew?"
"And I dare say that the map I have is more complete and accurate than theirs"
"Where did you get all that stuff?" Luna looked to repeat her question again. Because that information is more important than the accuracy of the star map.
"The young man drew it" answered Nata, calling Aksa.
"He drew it himself?"
"True, because this young man is a messenger of the gods" Aksa replied as he touched his hand to the front of his chest, as soon as he approached the bar table.
"What's right, you drew this map?" Luna tilted her face looking at Aksa with a look of disdain.
"True, even Nata means the remaining three quarters, still in here I have not drawn" replied Aksa while pointing to his own temple.
"Don't joke you"
"If you do not believe that I am a messenger of the gods, I will prove it. You see the people who are playing the card" said Aksa, pointing to a table not far from the bar table.
"Yes, why?"
"I will mention what cards will come out" said Aksa who responded by frowning Luna because she did not understand what Aksa meant.
Nata who knew what Aksa was going to do was smiling and folding his hands in front of his chest. It was as if he was getting ready to watch a magic show.
"The card that person will take is 2 vows. And since the card he had was a spade then he would throw it away. After that the person next to him will take the King card of the heart. The person next to him will again take a card 2 wajik discarded the first person, because the card he has is 8 wajik down. Except number 5. The number 5 card should be in the 13th stack from the bottom. But unfortunately after two rounds of card taking, the game will be finished" Aksa began to say as if he was explaining a story scenario.
"Because two more rounds the second man is complete collect 8 to 10 heart cards plus the card of the commander, queen, and king. So the man was the winner" Aksa closed his long sweep followed by Luna with his incredulous gaze, watching the running game from their position.
And gradually what was mentioned by Aksa had become a reality. And closed with the second man win with the exact same card as Aksa had said before.
"How can you?" Luna looked very surprised. It's not like Caspian. He did not expect to be shocked again by these two people.
"It's because I'm the messenger of the gods" Aksa replied with a haughty smile.
"Do you have the eyes of the Leafclas?" Ask Luna in amazement.
"really. I have what eyes it is" Aksa replied lightly.
"No. He doesn't have lef's eye what it is. It was only because this young man remembered the position of the cards before they were dealt, calculated the odds when they were shuffled and guessed that it made sense for the players to win" Nata explained later.
"He did what?" Caspian asked who still did not understand what Nata was talking about.
"Where does anyone remember the position of the cards in a deck before and after shuffling?" Luna did not believe it.
"That's because I'm the messenger of the gods. Sorry, is there cow milk? I don't like alcohol" Aksa later said.
"Oh, yes. I will help you but on one condition" said Luna then after waking up.
"What's that?"
"You must involve me fully in the mad construction of Pharos' city"
"If you want to be involved in the construction of this city, you have to give a better offer than the current one. Because besides you will get all the knowledge and information that has never existed on this plain, also maybe you will hold a trade route throughout this land"
"You know how to bargain as well it turns out. All right, we agreed" Luna said with a smile.
"Alright first we need the minerals on this list" Nata handed the paper scroll to Luna.
"Copper, Sulfur, Limestone salt, then what is Zeng?"
-
After all had been settled and all the affairs of the city had been completed, the retinue of Nata and Aksa hurried to leave the city. Luna would follow them directly to the Batrhtolomew family residence after everything she needed was ready. Pietro will be with Luna.
Lucia needs to return to Kotaraja to make her final preparations before she actually leaves the city.
While Lumire's entourage seemed to be deliberately waiting for Lucia and the others in front of the city.
"Daughter Lucia, I discussed this last night with my family. And we agreed that we would help you build the city" Lumire said.
"really? I'm so glad to hear that, Mr. Lumire"
"That means I don't need to hear any more of Mr. Selene's explanations. Let Mr. Selene herself handle this task immediately" Aksa said in a relieved tone.
"Hey lazy boy, watch your talk"
"Eh, is it okay to give that task to me?" Selene was surprised.
"Yes, you just have to choose which animal in what kind of place. The rest let us do it" added Nata.
"Well if you say so. Thank you for entrusting that task to me"
"Don't thank me when given troublesome work Mr. Selene" chirped Aksa who immediately reaped diatribes from Jean.
"Well, if so. We will make preparations in advance at this place before catching up with you all"
"You can leave together with Mr. Pietro. He will leave with one of our companions named Luna, who is preparing some goods"
"All right then. I will look for Mr. Pietro after this. Are you going back to Kotaraja?"
"True, I also have to prepare the items that I will bring to Pharos"
"All right then. Be careful on the road"
And then the romhongan Nata, Aksa, and Lucia left the city of Zeraza.
